This is the same experience as prior versions of Windows (e.g.
motherboard change) Windows may require re-activation on the device. "Q: What happens if I change the hardware configuration of my Windows 10 device?Ī: If the hardware configuration of your Windows 10 device changes significantly (e.g. The Phone activation proceeded succesfully - and Windows 10 is now activated both under Boot Camp as well as Parallels "My Boot Camp".

(Note this would'n work with Upgrade Win10 - the "Settings" dialog would simply hang.) In Windows, I opened admin Command Prompt.īy entering "slui 4" a dialog opened to utilise the Microsoft Phone Activation, giving correct phone number via country selection. I then proceeded to launch "My Boot Camp" under Parallels.

Under "native" Boot Camp, I replaced the upgrade-related key with the retail key, using the "Change product key" button on Win10 'Settings - Update & Security - Activation' My problem has been solved after I purchased a retail version of Windows 10. Windows 10 Upgrade cannot be dual-activated, as is required to run it under any VM as well as "native" Boot Camp. I am now confident that the issue lies with the upgrade version of Windows 10 and Hardware ID of the system.
Is there anything you can do, or suggest me to do? Unfortunately I did not come to think of one way to prove my Win10 is genuine and activated (under Boot Camp) during the remote session: To boot into Boot Camp Windows and have them see the activated Windows 10 via the remote connection.

Then I had the Windows 8.1 key available, so the Microsoft's automatic phone activation service worked for me. (I remember having the same issue of need to re-activate Windows 8.1 when that was running as Parallels "My Boot Camp". This is a work computer Naturally this is Without that, they just told me to wipe everything, re-install Win8.1, re-upgrade to Win10 and *not* remove the previous installation. The problem boiled down to proving my Win10 is really upgraded from Win8.1. And MS Activation Support left me with no solution. Windows (under Parallels) just will not self-activate. While they gave some insight as to the underlying reasons to this problem, there was no solution. I have already read through both articles you link to. I did have to activate via Microsoft phone help once under Parallels, but there was no issues. Needless to say, Windows 8.1 was fully activated on both manners of running.
He said that in order to to get these files back to my machine, I would need to fully remove Windows 10, re-install a fresh Win8.1 and then do the Windows 10 upgrade again. The support person then claimed that he "cannot verify my Win 10 as an upgrade" (why would that matter?) and refused the activation help. (This file is also missing on my home computer, also upgraded from 8.1 and previous Windows removed.) Possibly it has been removed by "Remove previous Windows installation" function - or possibly by "Disk Cleanup". He then tried to run a command that would access a file "C:\Windows\Panther\setupact.log". However, as I had removed the old Windows installation to save disk space, this directory Then they took remote connection to my machine, and looked for the "Windows.old" directory to verify the Win10 is an upgrade. They asked my Win8.1 key, which I provided. (Why would that matter? Shouldn't one be able to clean-install a previously activated Windows 10?)

They were quite helpful, but needed verification that my Win10 is an upgrade and not a clean install. So, I contacted Microsoft Activation support. (Rebooting to "native" Boot Camp allows Windows to activate again. On-line activation stops with Error Code: 0xC004C003 "The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked," The same Windows instance, when launched via Parallels 11, as "My Boot Camp", immediately reverts to non-activated. I have a Windows 10 (upgraded from 8.1 on Mac Boot Camp) which is fully activated.
